حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَكَانَ بَدْرِيًّا، قَالَ: لَقَدْ " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَبْعَثُنَا فِي السَّرِيَّةِ يَا بُنَيَّ، مَا لَنَا زَادٌ إِلَّا السَّلْفُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ، فَيَقْسِمُهُ قَبْضَةً قَبْضَةً حَتَّى يَصِيرَ إِلَى تَمْرَةٍ تَمْرَةٍ "، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا أَبَتِ، وَمَا عَسَى أَنْ تُغْنِيَ التَّمْرَةُ عَنْكُمْ، قَالَ: لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ يَا بُنَيَّ (٣) فَبَعْدَ أَنْ فَقَدْنَاهَا فَاخْتَلَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا (٤)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Amir bin Rabi’ah, who was a Badri companion, that sometimes the Prophet (peace be upon him) would send us with a detachment, and we would have nothing with us except a few dates as provisions. The Prophet (peace be upon him) would distribute them among us, one handful at a time, until it would come to the point where each person would get only one date. Abdullah says: I said, “Father, what use is one date to you?” He replied, “Son, do not say that. When we did not even get one date, then we realized its value.”
